2018 STL Cardinals Thread (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=312812)

How the **** did he get thrown out? No one other than Molina should get thrown out there.

Carpenter strikes out with one out and the bases loaded watching strike 3 go straight down the middle of the plate.

The guy would rather try to work a walk than swing the bat. Maybe that's why he is better at lead off than the 3 hole.

Yadi smashed the **** out of that.

Early season Yadi is a hell of a hitter until catching wears his power down.

I didn't realize how bad the Reds are.

they chose this. They wanted to be at the top of the draft as their rebuild model. **** them. Purposely lose for draft position. Yet you want fans to pay full price for tickets when you want to lose?

Seems to have worked well when Houston bottomed out for a couple of years so could see some more copycats.

Cubs and Royals too. Wasn’t really dissing the plan but that they expect fans to pay full price when they are not even trying right now.

The Royals didn't purposefully tank. They were just incompetent.

How expensive is a game at Great American Ballpark? Can't be that much?

3rd/Carp is batting 27th/32 teams

Matheny is still sticking with this same lineup. What’s the point? We have a known history with this lineup and players in those spots.

We know Carp does well in the leadoff position. If I’m remembering it right, Fowler did good last year batting 3rd. Am l missing some WAR #’s or something here?

Because it is still early, and Fowler batting lead off is probably our highest ceiling if everyone hits their norms. They both are in a slump, and Pham is pressing a bit between them, though not even close to the degree Carpenter and Fowler were hurting us. Between the two Carp worries more than Fowler, his best position right now is probably 2b. If Gyorko comes back hitting bombs and playing great D, you have to think about moving Carp back to 2B unless Wong gets his head out of his ass finally and realizes he should be a line drive spray hitter.
